We stayed here on Sunday night before the bank holiday and the hotel seemed busy. We did not realize that you had to get a permit from the hotel to park in the nearby short-stay car park as we were looking for a 24 hour car park as stated on the booking confirmation! After driving around for awhile with 2... More

We booked a small double online for £48.00. Booking was clear and easy - you know exactly what you're getting for your money - and I also received a prompt email in response to a question I had. The location of the Royal Britannia is excellent, overlooking the harbour. We wanted somewhere to stay before a short break in Lundy,... More

An Error was made by staff or customer during ordering, as we cook from fresh it did take a further 15 minutes (timed receipts are kept in our kitchen) the two orders the customer is referring to were separate and the time delay was due to other customers orders in between and The rest is totally untrue 1 don’t use...

We stayed here in Decenber 2011. It was a last minute booking on Booking.com. We arrived in darkness and were a little concerned as the reception was closed and the back entry was a little shabby. We went to the bar and were greeted and shown to our room. The room was great, quite large, warm, four poster bed, lovely... More

What a wonderful hotel. Checked in early, shown to our room, no pressure about settling account. Stayed in pet friendly accommodation...really clean. I suffer with back problems and within 15 mins of asking for an extra pillow one had been put in the room. Bed was really big and comfortable...hand carved. Stunning views of the harbour from the room. Food... More
